Default Simple problem complex solution?

Hi,

I have had this problem for quite a while and I couldnt get it
resolved on here before but I am hoping someone might be able to sort
it for me.

Here is the situation:

I have a column with 10 answer boxes in it.
Each box displays an "error" in the form of a number.
The boxes can have the same error or different errors or no errors.
The errors are typically anything from 0.00001 to 1.

I have a series of 5 more result boxes that I need to group the errors
in their most logical groupings into.

eg series 1

0
0.001
0
0.001
0
0
0
0.002
0.001
0

As a human looking at the numbers it is easy to group them logically
as:

First 4 numbers together, next 3 together, last 3 on their own each.
(I dont have to populate all 5 result boxes)

eg series 2

0
0
0
0
0
0
0
0.001
0.001
0

As a human looking at the numbers it is easy to group them logically
as:

First 7 numbers together, next 2 together, last 1 on its own. (I dont
have to populate all 5 result boxes)

Can this be done using code or is it better through complex nested if
statements to decide the groupings?

Thanks in advance.

Aaron.
